Description:
When using hplip version 3.20.9-1 I'm encountering errors when trying to use my multi-function printer (HP LaserJet Pro MFP M148fdw). Some of the symptoms include...
* An "Authentication is required to manage system services or other units" dialog pops up when launching gimp, xsane, hp-scan, etc.
* journalctl shows "protocol/discovery/avahiDiscovery.c 420: Failed to create client object: Daemon not running"
* The printer is listed even if the authorization dialog is cancled, but there are I/O errors when attempting to scan
* manually starting avahi service prevents the dialog from presenting, but there are still I/O errors when attempting to scan
* Attempting to scan results in a "Failed to open device 'hpaio:/net/HP_LaserJet_Pro_M148f-M149f?ip=192.168.0.119': Error during device I/O." dialog.
* I am still able to print a test page with 3.20.9-1

It would be nice if there was a way to disable the avahi scan.
Functionality is restored by rolling back to 3.20.6-3.

Maybe this is related to removing hplip-revert-plugins.patch?
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  version mismatch with AUR package

After running xsane with debug builds of the sane and hplip packages it looks like the failure during open is due to a mismatch between hplip_version (3.20.9) and plugin_version (3.20.6). Now that the AUR package has been updated to 3.20.9 the scanning functionality is working again.

It would still be nice to not have to cancel out of the annoying popup to start avahi, but that's an upstream problem. It looks like xsane always asks to probe for remote devices. Recommend closing this ticket.
